Explanation:

What is 40% of 400?

  • Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y
  • P is 40%, X is 400, so the equation is 40% * 400 = Y
  • Convert 40% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100:40/100 = 0.4
  • Substitute 0.10 for 10% in the equation: 40% * 400 = Y becomes 0.4 * 400 = Y
  • Do the math: 0.4 * 400 = 160
  • Y = 160
  • So 10% of 150 is 160
  • Double check your answer with the original question: What is 40% of 400? Multiply 0.4 * 400 = 160
